Ancient Mariner Lyrics - Tasavallan Presidentti

The ancient mariner, he sits, arms folded to his breast 

He casts his gaze around at you and the rest 

Then he laughs softly to himself at our misery and pride 

Then scornfully turns away to the memories he has to hide 

He sits deaf to sight and sound, 

Thinks warmly of the past as we bustle around 

And in his mind the seas all roar, the wind, its blowing high 

Creaking sails and straining wood of ships bound to die 

He sits, no worries him to find 

Safe harbour beckons him to the births of his mind 

And everything's so clear to him, he knows what you don't know 

You ask him wonderingly of a life, he says it's just not so 

He sits over the silence of the bay 

His eyes speak, you can hear what they say 

Then satisfied you turn to go, thinking you've grown more wise 

You think you got all you cared from him, only then do you realize

The ancient mariner sits there, arms folded to his breast 

He casts his gaze around at you and the rest 

Then he laughs softly to himself, what else can he do? 

For one day soon, and suddenly, the ancient mariner will be you
